I think we used to get such things occasionally in backtraces where you
might get a few hundred lines were some of those lines can be
pathologically long.  Nowadays we're more careful to elide parts of
each line of the backtrace, tho (not just for redisplay's sake but also
to speed up the printing itself), so it probably doesn't count as a real
life example any more.
